Mr_D Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 With the recent fire activity, anyone know if you can drive up to Cloud Cap? Any info on Elliot Ice Conditions? -Mr_D Quote

billbob Posted September 6, 2006 Posted September 6, 2006 Cloud Cap is open again. Labor day weekend saw a large group practicing crevasse rescues on Eliot, also a tent just above the heavily-crevassed area. Lots of cheering from the group... Up on the Snow Dome the surface was mild suncups and crevassed at the upper portion. Lots of running water to be had, not too hot. Quote
iain Posted September 6, 2006 Posted September 6, 2006 saw you guys skiing on snowdome while we were climbing. man you must really like to ski. Quote
kurthicks Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 any recent pics of the northside? perhaps the Eliot/Coe HW area? Quote
ivan Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 i can't imagine the elliot hw would be even remotely climbable yet - there's been no precip in forever and the mountain looks grossly melted out - some snow in the forecast for the next few days though might get things starting - reckon it'll be at least another month though for the elliot Quote
ivan Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 fun conditions currently - hordes present on saturday - the great and terrible iain was spotted - many thanks to brent from sisters who took the bitch spot on the rope but took many cool pictures of me n' oleg to piss off our wives - currently getting up into the middle icefall below the north face is cool - man, it's really melted out and changed in there in the past 4 years!
